"Bank on Yourself is for every woman who has to manage her finances completely on her own, whether by choice or by circumstance. A growing number of women are, or will be, single for a significant part of their lifetime; and single women are one of the most financially vulnerable groups in retirement. In fact, 90 percent of women will need to manage their own finances at some point. This book is for all the women who have to, or choose to, go it alone - whether they are single due to divorce, widowhood, never having been married, or because they have chosen the single life. The point is, whether you are currently single, or are in a situation where you could be once again, you need to be in control of your finances and to plan financially for life on your own - to protect yourself, ensure you have choices and options, and secure your future."--Amazon.com.
